And in the most shocking of shocking events...!

Not really. I think the most shocking thing here is that it was a LOT closer than I expected. I honestly expected Juri to completely dominate and get like twice as much as the runner-up. Instead, things were actually somewhat close. Juri did win handily, but Jenet isn't tha far behind, and Jun isn't far behind her. And that's mildly surprising to me - was expecting Jenet to be in last place based on past results for KOF characters. Then again, I guess she's one of the more popular ones. I'd imagine someone like Shermie would perform well, too.
Anyway, Juri and Jenet will get two animations. Jun may get a second if I'm feeling it, but I won't promise it. I've been kind of in a small rut the past week. Haven't animated anything since I finished Lulu, and have just been faffing around. I have been Blending, but it's been a combination of rigging and renders. I've been on a bit of an anime-style kick this year, for whatever reason, and I've so it's mostly been focused on that. I'll go ahead and dump some of the stuff I've rendered in between rambling about potential sets and ideas I've got, as well as the renders themselves. So feel free to skip the text and look at the pictures. x)

I am actually getting very close to starting something with Mitsuru, thanks in part to getting better with anime style shaders, lighting, and what not. That's partially why I hadn't done anything with her in the first place; wanted to get better so I could do her proper justice. And I think I'm getting to the point where I can. Probably still won't happen anytime soon, but hopefully it'll be this year. I still want to get to Fuuka before then, too. And there's other Persona characters I'd like to get to.

Yeah, Kawakami. Only been seven years since I last did her. Better late than never I always say. No clue when I'll actually do something with her, but I've got her now. Along with some others.

Sae, among others. Won't be revealing my full deck of Persona characters here, just throwing some out there. But Persona isn't the only thing I've got on the docket. Or at least the 'would like to do' docket, since I have no actual clue what I will be doing.

When I did Tatsumaki, I mentioned I was gonna do Fubuki and then three years passed. I am really bad about that, lol. I'm too scatterbrained and just jump from thing to thing way too quickly. And I still can't fully promise when it'll happen, but at least I've got thing ready to go whenever I can, now. And then there's the elephant in the room. Genshin Impact. Despite the set and the sheer number of characters that game has, I don't actually have too many characters from it that I really like. Arlecchino was a hit for me, and then there's a few others.

Mavuika definitely tickles my brain a bit. And there are some others that I haven't actually rigged yet, but I will admit it's not a huge interest for me. Instead, I ended up swinging over to ZZZ.

It's actually somewhat funny, because I honestly didn't have much interest in ZZZ. But after starting the April Fool's stuff back in January, I started looking at all the Hoyo games and its characters, and ended up fucking around with Zhu Yuan. Who is my favorite of the bunch, but I ended up liking more characters as I fucked around.

And I ended up actually playing it, and unlike Genshin and HSR - which I tried when they first came out and gave up after like, ten minutes - I actually kept playing it. Something about it vibed with me more than the others. Might be the semi-Persona vibes I get from it, might be the Cyberpunkish setting. Dunno, but it's fairly fun, if a bit simple.

I've also just been having fun rigging and posing random shit. Which is what typically happens when I'm drawing blanks on what to do or animate. It's cathartic, and good stress relief.

And at this point, I've just kinda run out of things to talk about. Haven't been in the rambliest of moods, I get like that sometimes. Brain drain and all that. But anyway, I'll wrap it up here. I've got more images, but to avoid a long ass scroll, I'll just dump them here for those who want them: https://gofile.io/d/0WQWWn

Anyway, I'll hopefully get some motivation soon. Maybe the poll animations will help kickstart me into making something, but who knows. Catch ya later.

I used to get asked to do Genshin Impact a lot in the past, but as time has gone on, that has definitely winded down considerably. And me being me, I only capitalize on trends once they're no longer trendy. So here you go. A big ol' release of Genshin Impact! I finally did it! It's like five years late, but better late than never, right?

...what do you mean this isn't what you asked for? It's Genshin Impact, isn't it? I spent all this time on these animations and it's wrong? Psh... psshh... Gotta be more specific, otherwise I'll have to assume things! Now all this has been pointless! I'm fed up with this worl! (ノ`⌒´)ノ┫: ┻┻

FAQ:
Q: Why?
A: Because.

Q: Will you do *insert character here*?
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q: wtf
A: bbq

Q: What day is it?!
A: Happy April Fool's everyone. x)

Anyway, have an Arlecchino.

See ya tomorrow for the poll.

Just a small set for Shuten - been feeling rather under the weather as of late, so I've been going kinda slow and procrastinating a lot. Would have liked to have had more ideas, but sometimes the brain don't work so good. Regardless, it's something at least. Better than no releases in March, I think. Still gotta work on the next sorta 'poll' animations, as well as rig the characters, so I should be able to do that between now and the 1st. Anyway, that's all I've got for the moment, catch ya later.

The results are (not)shocking.

Momiji won by a pretty large margin, as expected. Rachel actually got second place, which I'm a little surprised by, but I just chalk that up to the lack of Rachel in general causing more to vote for her. Ayane did get second in votes.
Still, for those disappointed or the like, keep in mind I'm now doing 100 points = 1 animation for polls, so Ayane and Rachel will get an animation. And since Rachel is so close, I'll throw in a second as well. So Momiji = 3 animations, Rachel = 2 animations, Ayane = 1 animations. I'll also be doing a little bit more for this set, since I didn't have an animation set release this past poll. Just means I'll be doing some finishes and what have you. I have already started on stuff. One nice thing about the 100 points = 1 animation thing is that the moment someone hits 100 points, I can start animating. I did that sometimes anyway when it was clear who the winner was, but sometimes it was too close to call. But anyway, the point is I've started. Here's a small preview of Miji.

I've gotta admit, I'm quite liking NuMiji. They did a good job with her. Makes me hopeful for future characters.

Anyway, I'm still a bit on the 'resting up' side of things after my Luna sets and am taking things slow still. That said, I'm gonna try to get something out this month, and I'm leaning towards a fairly random character.

My Marie-Shuten model. It'll probably be a small set, but I just have an itch to do something more proper with her. So yeah, that'll hopefully be this month. 

Past that... not sure. Gonna have a set for the April poll, but haven't fully figured out who it will be. I did roll the poll, and while I haven't rigged up the models, it's gonna be a Fighting Game 'J' set. And what I mean by that is I rolled King of Fighter's B. Jenet, Tekken's Jun Kazuma, and Street Fighter's Juri Han. RNGesus can be funny sometimes.
